In 2011, the breaking news for the automotive wiring harness industry was that Yazaki, Denso and Furukawa suffered severe punishment imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice for price-fixing of wiring harness in the past decade. Yazaki paid a USD470 million fine, Denso USD78 million fine and Furakawa USD200 million. Yazaki is the world's largest automotive wiring harness manufacturer, Furukawa ranks No. 6, while Denso basically drops out of the automotive wiring harness business. The severe penalty will not change the industrial pattern, but the Japanese wiring harness manufacturers will be more cautious in the U.S.
Facing the "triple whammy" of 311 Earthquake, yen's appreciation and Thailand Flood, Japanese wiring harness players still performed well due to their global presence. For instance, Yazaki had had 421 bases and 163 subsidiaries, and employed a total of 192,541 workers in 39 countries by the end of 2011. Sumitomo Electric saw a lower growth rate because its domestic business accounts for a larger proportion.
Germany-based LEONI, fuelled by the German luxury car, was affected by the Euro zone debt crisis for its 65% of business was concentrated in Europe. LEONI lagged far behind Japanese wiring harness manufacturers in business layout in China, or it should have seen a higher rise in revenue. American LEAR, also one of the leading auto seat suppliers, witnessed the soaring revenue driven by the strong recovery of the U.S. automotive industry.
Furukawa continually increased its investment in automotive wiring harness. It projected USD25.75 million to acquire the connector business of Mitsubishi Cable at the end of 2011 and invested JPY10 billion to build a new plant in the Philippines. Germany Volkswagen, other than Japanese enterprises, is the biggest customer of Fujikura's automotive wiring harness business, so Fujikura enjoyed the highest growth rate among Japanese companies. South Korean YURA also benefited from increased sales of Hyundai Motor.
Finnish PKC prided itself on the highest growth rate of revenue. The company acquired U.S. AEES in the fall of 2011, and its revenue is expected to reach USD1.16 billion in 2012. PKC gives priority to wiring harness for Pick Up, Light Truck, Heavy Truck and Bus, the most rapidly growing market in the U.S. automotive industry.
THB, the first largest automotive wiring harness producer in China, fell 5.9% (or 12.4% if calculated in RMB) in revenue, mainly because THB focuses on wiring harness for local vehicles which saw a slipping market share. In February 2012, THB sold its major business to Shenzhen Deren Electronics.
